What Clients are Saying
Corporate Leaders:
"It takes some people three or four years to learn a lesson that Whitehead can teach in three to six months. This training increases the proficiency of individuals and teams, and operational performance follows.
- Fred Morganthall, President, Harris Teeter
"Mike Whitehead and his team at Whitehead Associates have been very valuable coaching the senior leaders of our staff as we face the challenge of rapid change all around us. As the economy has contracted, we have responded, primarily from a financial perspective. But we did not fully appreciate and address the unintentional consequences that this type of change would have on our people. Mike has helped us to be intentional in shaping the corporate culture. One result is that we no longer ignore the “elephants in the room.” We are identifying and taking them head on with positive results." - Bob Morgan, President Charlotte Chamber of Commerce
"For us to take timely advantage of opportunities, we had to share a common vision, a common language and clear and direct communication. Our work with Whitehead Associates has created new opportunities for our leadership to excel and maximize their contribution to the organization's success."
- Janet Fortner, President and CEO of Hospice and Palliative Care Charlotte Region.
Community Leaders

Mike has been a catalyst in bringing some of these critical conversations to fruition."
- Sue Gorman, community leader and wife of Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Peter Gorman
"Mike Whitehead is a master at making connections, nurturing leadership, and building consensus."
